SCP is a secure alternative to FTP for event.txt, device configuration, and firmware update. It is strongly recommended that you use SCP and disable FTP on your APC NMC-based devices (NMC2 and NMC3).

The EcoStruxure IT Gateway does not support SCP on NMC1 devices.

How to identify APC Network Management Card 1 (NMC1) devices

SCP is supported in EcoStruxure IT Gateway 1.9.0 and newer.

The FTP or SCP credentials on the device must match the device transfer settings on the Gateway Settings > Device credentials page.

IT Expert Administrator users can change these settings on APC SNMP devices that support config.ini.
See Single device configuration and Device configuration.

Otherwise, refer to your device's documentation for instructions on how to set FTP or SCP credentials.

IMPORTANT: After you update the device configuration settings in the Gateway, you must rediscover the devices that you modified to use SCP credentials.

For instructions, see Configure Gateway device file transfer settings
